Always the perfect spot for having an afternoon cocktail on Arenas. The bartender was a charming man that has been there for years, as a mater of fact everyone has been there for years. The 3pm mid-day found almost every barstool full as well as just a few outer tables. The vibe is subtle and I highly recommend bringing someone to talk too. The bartender was chatty enough but the patrons not so much. I would bet it's the same crowd everyday yet nobody seemed to know each other, just quiet men all looking gayly forward towards the center of the bar. Drinks are delicious and poured generously and if you like the houses favorite brands (all top shelf) then its a pretty good deal. They keep the place tidy, with everything in good working order, the staff is proud and my favorite reason to return. read more

Streetbar - Gay Bars Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Stopped by for some air conditioning and ended up staying for the good company. We had some time to kill before our room was ready and decided to escape the heat by checking out Street Bar. It wasn't busy when we arrived and seemed to have a solid group of regulars. Everyone was super friendly, and the drinks were great and fairly priced. I'd love to come back during a busier time to see the bar in full swing. Definitely keeping this spot on my list of Palm Springs go‑tos. read more

It's been a while since I was last here. Then it was alway pretty mellow when we visited. Depending on the day and time. Well this visit we stopped by for a drink. Something pretty mellow as the other bars nearby we've been to loads of time. Well, let me say it was the happening place that night. There wasn't anything particularly happening but it was lively. It's not a club for dancing. More of a local bar with an older crowd but it was fun. People are out and about for the same reason, to enjoy the night and mingling with each other. Drinks were reasonable which I'm sure that brings people in. The vibe was quite fun. It seemed like either it was a start of the night place before bar hopping or somewhere you end the night with a final nightcap. The bartenders were amazing and quite fun. Plus a little surprised and shocked that the bartender remembered me from another bar back in LA that's been closed for a while that he used to work at. Small world or maybe I leave a lasting impression....LoL... It's not crazy big but a good decent size. There's also a nice size patio. They do host different events on different night. I remember coming and it happened to be karaoke. It's a cool bar that's pretty mellow and chill. Depending on what night, the vibe is different. read more

My first time back to the street bar in years this last week. There is karaoke and a very fun, happy crowd. It was a nice balance between people from Palm Springs and a few people from out of town very diverse with handsome young men, sexy, quick well experienced bartenders, and a very well established monitor a good looking guys willing to have conversation and share a joyful experience at the StreetBar. Thank you, Tom an amazing and handsome Bartender! Bartender time reminded me of mutual friends, Frank and Annie Rodel... iconic LGBT Bar owners from the San Fernando Valley and the city of Ventura, California. I realize the challenges in keeping our LGBT plus bar and community gathering places, safe and enjoyable. Thank you to all of the Bar owners, bartenders, and patient Bar patrons... they keep places like the StreetBar and Franks bar Paddys LGBT+ Party Spots. read more

Always a great crowd no matter what time of day, on slower hours there are usually a nice friend crowd of people around the bar or outside. Been our favorite bar for decades and we learned recently that now they do take cards and remodeled the bathroom to fit more people in. That is a big deal when its crowded and you have two single use bathrooms meaning long lines, now it is not as bad. Wow am I doing a bathroom review? read more

This was easily our favorite bar in Palm Springs, gay or otherwise, bar none. Bar none? Bar plenty. Yes, Jamie W and I were doing a bit of a late afternoon bar crawl on Arenas Road which if you don't know, is Gay Central in PS. It's only two sides of one block where at least a half-dozen gay bars dominate the area. We only hit three of them, so we weren't that focused on pure debauchery or impure for that matter. I knew I was going to like this bar almost immediately because the bartenders looked pretty close to my age. So did a lot of the customers with just a sprinkling of twinks probably here on sponsorship if you know what I mean. It was fairly crowded but not impossibly so. We were able to sit comfortably at the bar where friendly locals chatted us up. We felt right at home. Drinks were sure reasonably priced at Happy Hour, just $8 each. Jamie had a Margarita, while I went for my standard Espresso Martini (photo: https://yelp.to/SlN2hmOqyF). They hit the spot, and that was just for starters. DRINKS - 5 stars...convivial libations well priced AMBIANCE - 5 stars...just the right mix and setting for us SERVICE - 5 stars...they keep on top of things TOTAL - 5 stars...just a friendly spot we will return to RELATED - Exploring Palm Springs?

Streetbar on Arenas Road is the neighborhood bar for locals and travelers! It's inviting lighting, square bar, various tall booth tables and patio seating make for some great leisure exploits inside as well as overlooking the street of fellow local bars and businesses, including Hunter's next door, Dick's directly across the way as well as Chill Bar and Quad's. The seating goes fast both inside and out, but the drinks never run out... Nor do the tunes. Karaoke Nights are abundant, but that like the bar itself fills up quickly as well... You can sign up near the stage toward the back half of the main bar area, which also has a row of chairs on every side. They do accept card or cash most days or nights, though during pride and major event weekends it was cash only... ATM in back just across from the stage. Bartenders and barbacks are nothing but friendly and witty. You enjoy drink specials daily, though Ketel One seems to be the consistent $7 base of choice... See various days of the week for additional fan favs. Great entertainment, including live performers, drag queens and more. I'd say it's a good mix of people, but definitely older gen jolly. One of the most inviting queer spaces on Arenas, hence that line that seems to form when they're at capacity to get in... If you know, you know! Usually not too bad of a wait at all... The line (when present) moves at a good pace, with some beats in-between. Great AC and great energy all around. Q-Tip: While they don't have an active website, they do have a very active Facebook w/ frequent updates. Easy street parking for streetbar throughout the area, limited handicap spots as they go quick and a free parking structure just a light up at Indian Canyon /Baristo Rd read more

Worst experience ever. Dudes were mean. Thought they were going to kick our asses for being women. Just stopped off cause some dude said we had to check it out.

It was an ugly experience. read more

Street Bar is a bar in Palm Springs, CA which I visited over the past many years. My last time there on March 13, 2021 was extremely disturbing. Someone or some persons in the bar drugged my drink. I was found unconscious on the bathroom floor of Street Bar by one of their employees. The employee took me outside on their patio and left me there to "stand up" and left me. As a result of being drugged unknowingly, I fell again and broke my shoulder. End result, three major breaks , two fractures, and a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. Be VERY CAREFUL in that bar as drinks are drugged by people in that bar. Never leave your drink unattended! read more

Getting there: Located on Arenas street across the street from Chill Bar. Parking can be found on the street, in the side lot next to the bar or if those are full you can always park in the parking structure on Indian Canyon. Experience: I had never been here before and when I went out with a group of my guy friends they wanted to come here for karaoke. This bar has an older crowd, and it's not very big but it still seems like it's a great time. read more

I've been coming to this place with my partner and I for a few years now. I for a small location it's great for good drinks and a fun time. We always enjoy the karaoke and getting to just sit in the ambience of the older gay bar.. their weekly specials are really great because they do a new drink special every day throughout the week read more

Small gay bar. There are two rooms and the patio. The crowd is 40+. The music the night I went was 80's if I recall. My drink was good and the staff was friendly. I think it would be a fun bar with a drag show or if they did a theme night like show tunes. read more

A friend described the drinks at Street Bar as, "nearly 3/4th liquor with a splash of soda." ::my eyes widened:: (Me, trying to sound casual:) "Oh you don't say?" So, of course, I made my way there. It was a Saturday night and the $7 drink special was Effen vodka; smooth and much cheaper than a $13 mixed drink I had at a bar across the street. Overall Street Bar has a friendly atmosphere and it's a great opener as you arrive to Arenas St. read more

I've been coming to Arenas for years and never felt the need to stop by Street Bar because let's face it, this bar doesn't look like the most appealing of establishments from the outside. But once a local introduced me to how fun thus spot could be, I really learned to like it here. I had been once before for a very quick stop but upon my second visit, My eyes were opened thanks to the kindness of my local friend and all of his friends. I went the Sunday of Pride weekend and Street bar had a really great vibe. Before you think it was only fun because I was there fore Pride, let me point out that I've been since and had fun each and every time I've visited. Just know this. Drinks are strong, drinks are cheap, need I say more? I think not.... can't wait until my next visit where my two vodka sodas will do the job and allow me to have a fun evening or Sunday Funday! read more

As a person who doesn't drink I'm quite disappointed. The bartender told me that they don't deal with free loaders ( I asked him for water twice) the bald queen. The crowd is awesome. They're all much older and very nice, except for that bartender who is a c*nt read more

I had a wonderful time here about a month ago when I was in town with my family. We came in with my mom and dad, my brother and his husband, my sis and her husband, and my hubby and me. We were warmly welcomed, offered seats, and served strong, delicious drinks. It was busy but a guy saw I'd been waiting and gave up his spot in line to direct the bartender's attention my way - as if to say, I'm a regular, I can wait, take care of the tourists. We'd been drinking Rose Kennedys all day so we kept it going. I've never seen such a strong pour! Even though my parents were happy to stand, several groups offered them their seats. We finally accepted because it seemed many were just too polite to let my parents stand. It was so charming. News of coronoavirus was starting to make its way into the mainstream, and we knew this week would be our last time to be with my brother for a while, he'll go back to the bay area and we'll go home to Oklahoma. I doubt we will see him for a year, and honestly if that's all my family has to endure we will count ourselves so lucky. We were just enjoying the karaoke (some amazing singers in the crowd). Then my sweet 70 year old dad observed such a sobering fact. He said, many of the men in here (many seemed to be 50+) had already survived an epidemic, had already been through so much as a community. He's right, of course, but I was just kind of in awe to get that glimpse inside his head. I hope we're back in Palm Springs before we know it, and back at Street Bar. read more

In response to Maureen B. I worked at Streetbar for 16 years until retirement, so many wonderful people, staff and patrons. Too bad you have to take your anger out on an establishment that has given more than you can imagine to the community just because someone sends an unverified piece of hate mail to you. Sorry you had a bad experience there. I'd tell you to give it another try but it seems you've already made up your mind. On a better note ... I love Streetbar! Great staff the best pour drinks in the valley and good down to earth patrons. Cheers to the staff and owners for 28 years! read more

Sadly, I went here with friends and was the only woman in the bar. i was asked "why are you here?" Then, was essentially accessed as being a mass shooter-when I said It's not like I have an ak47. Women are not welcome here. Of course, u showed my small purse. Shameful. read more

EXTREMELY SEXIST BAR - MY PARTNER AND I WERE KICKED OUT FOR POLITELY ASKING THE BARTENDER TO NOT REFER TO US AS LADIES One thing to know about me is that I am a very quiet and timid individual. I never cause a scene and become extremely uncomfortable if I feel embarrassed. I cannot believe I am writing a Google review. I never do, but this is an important experience to share. I was deeply disappointed and disgusted by my recent experience at Streetbar. I go in with my lesbian friends every once in a while. We are all young and afab so when we walk into a room with predominately cis white men, it's not very welcoming. However, this is one of the only places that has ac and most of us are disabled so it's easier for us to sit and enjoy each others company. As a staunch advocate for inclusivity and respect for all individuals, I was appalled to witness the overt discrimination against transgender, autistic, afab individuals people during my visit. You are not welcome if you are anything other than a white gay man and they make that well known. Just look at who posts the good reviews vs the bad ones. Most of the bad ones are about them discriminating against minorities. NOT OKAY. Maybe read a book? Idk read more
